- It logs route and speed. Shervin’s run covered 1.36 miles in about 15 minutes.
- The watch can detect biking or walking and prompt you to record a workout without your phone.
- Contactless payments on the watch let you grab a coffee or transit pass on the go.
Workout example
- Open the Workout app on your Pixel Watch 2 and pick Run - Zone 2 with 136-140 bpm target.

- Keep HR in the target zone. The watch buzzes if you slip below.
- Go for about 1.4 miles at a comfortable, sustainable pace. You should be able to hold a conversation.
- Finish, stop recording, and check distance, average pace, and HR.
Closing note: try a Zone 2 run today and tweak the HR band or mileage to your fitness.
